According to witness David Holmes, Leno was invited to a dinner in Ukraine hosted by Amb. Sondland:
DAVID HOLMES unexpected fact: @jayleno reference at hearing.
"Ambassador Sondland hosted a dinner in President Zelenskyy’s honor… Jared Kushner, Secretary Pompeo’s counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl, senior European Union officials, and comedian Jay Leno, among others."— Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) November 21, 2019
The MAGA thumbs up from President Zelensky is a nice touch:
